He may leave at the end of the season

He will leave in the end f this season

There's also a chance that he will leave this winter. What's (almost) definite is that he won't be playing for Bayern next season.

Hoeness confirmed that Ali Karimi appears set to the leave Munich for former club Al Ahli Dubai in the January transfer window

'Al Ahli absolutely want to keep Ali here,' said Munich general manager from the club's winter training camp in Dubai.

'If we receive a concrete offer and Al Ahli pay something for him then it's possible that Ali will remain here.'

Karimi arrived on a free transfer from Al Ahli in 2005 and the 28- year-old midfielder's contract with Bayern runs out at the end of the season and won't be renewed.

Let him. He´s not good enough to play in top european club like Bayern.

how can u say he is not good enough for a team like bayern. after which he has been injured at the end of 2005-2006 season,then the horrible performance in the world cup which he had to rush into with an injury...however before this injury he was undoubtly a better playerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iavFyII2Crs

hejazi92, you are right, he was looking much better before the injury. However, true legends and great players would show more consistency and play well after their injury. Look at Deisler for example, he came back from a much more serious injury and gave 2 assists in his first 45 minutes.

However, now he seems to have lost interest, so we need to sell him or allow him to leave for free. We cannot have players with that attitude

i'm not sure if this is true but rumor has it that karimi has been facing serious financial trouble thus he has not been focusing on his game especially when competing with all the big names in Bayern

That can't be true! It's not like Karimi is poor. He knows what it's like to be poor, because he was poor when he was a child! He has his manager taking care of financial problems if anything. I doubt it could affect his performance much, either.

"From now on, his decisions will be financially motivated. It looks like his businesses are going bankrupt. And lots of expenses, has cost him a lot. It looks like he has run out of the money he earned in the Emirates. Jalali states: “Ali’s situation is difficult. Apart from football, he cannot do anything else. Still, thank God, that financial motivations force him to continue playing. Otherwise, do not doubt that if he was offered a billion, he would leave football today. Be sure that his choice of club for next season will be the club that offers him the most money.” Only the rich clubs of the Persian Gulf can spend the money required to acquire the magician. Experience has shown that they will not hold back in spending to acquire the dribbling skills of Karimi, and they are ready to pay."

This,however,implies that karimi has the talent but his attitude is the problem.I believe bayern should loan him out to a smaller club so he can get more playing time and get back into his form instead of selling him.

sali out basti out scholli out OMG we should at least force Karimi to stay !

hejazi92 my friend i honestly doubt that any player In FC BAYERN has any financial difficulties.. he must earn millions !

not according to that article although it could be unreliable

Bayern Munich midfielder Ali Karimi can return to his former club Al-Ahli Dubai if he wishes, the Bundesliga club's general manager Uli Hoeness confirmed Wednesday.

"If he says he wants to go, then he can go," said Hoeness, adding that Al Ahli had made an official approach earlier in the week.

Both clubs have virtually agreed all details about a deal for Karimi, whose contract with the German champions runs out at the end of the season.

highly doubtful, but then again even elton john had to cut his expenses the other day to avoid facing financial difficulties. might be karimi's of high maintenance, either.
